The complete 2026 slate with rest edges and schedule context, the 2025 ledger, and the franchise record since 1999 — every number computed from the bundled nflverse game log.

The San Francisco 49ers enter 2026 off a 12–5 season. Their 2026 opponents went a combined 143–145–1 in 2025 (a .497 strength of schedule, 18 of 32 — the naive prior-year method, whose real forecast error we measured here). The calendar hands them a net rest differential of 0 days (17 of 32), with week 2 (+3), week 9 (+7), week 12 (-7), week 14 (-3), week 16 (+4), week 17 (-3); the bye falls in week 8, they play 2 Thursday games, and 1 of their final four games are divisional. Rest-edge context lives in the schedule-quirks explainer.

Final record 12–5, 437 points scored against 371 allowed (+66). Home 5–3, road 7–2. One-score games (decided by 8 or fewer): 5–1 — the split most likely to regress either way, per the Pythagorean explainer.
